I've know for a couple of years know that I am an empath, it was a shock but also a great relief to know why I was feeling, seeing and doing things that I was.
I do take panic medication because ever since I have become open to the fact that I am an empath I have gotten to see, hear and feel more emotions that I just could not handle. Do the panic pills help? to a point they do but being and empath takes a lot of getting use to and I try to use what I am to benefit myself and others. I very much tend to worry about others more than myself and I am finding that it is making me ill. This worries me as I do have three wonderful children that need me and a great husband
I truly feel that empaths do forget to take care of themselves and that is never a good thing!
At some point I will get into more detail about some of my experiences
